GOP Lawmaker Faces Criticism for Spreading Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theories

Former Representative Liz Cheney criticized Senator Mike Lee for promoting a debunked conspiracy theory about the January 6 Capitol riot. Lee shared a post suggesting that the riot was instigated by undercover federal agents, but the theory has been disproven. Cheney, who served on the House select committee investigating the riot, rebuked Lee, stating that he should know better as a lawyer and highlighting his previous acknowledgment of the unconstitutionality of Trump's actions.
